Watching a space Shuttle take off or land has been on my life bucket list for as long as I can remember. Living here in California has made that a much harder box to check as complete, so when it was announced a few years ago that the space shuttle program was coming to an end I quietly moved that bucket list item to the section of wish I could have or maybe one day if they start the program back up again.Then it was announced that the Space Shuttle Endeavour would be making it's final journey here to Southern California and making its home at the California Science Center. As a family we made a pact to go see it as soon as it arrived. We were floored when it was announced that the shuttle would be piggy backed on a 747 and would make special fly-overs of California landmarks on its way to land at LAX. Disneyland being one of the landmarks that it would fly-over sealed the deal and off we went to catch a glimpse. The above picture is what I took that day looking up as it passed over us.

I admit it, I was teary eyed and beyond excited to be one of the millions who looked skyward last Friday to welcome Endeavour to its home on its final flight.We can't wait to catch it on display at the California Science Center at the end of October!Did you snap a great picture that day, either on its journey through Northern California or Southern California? I'd love you to post it on the OCMomActivities fanpage on Facebook!
